Method

  1. Drop the broccoli florets into a pan of boiling salted water, bring back to the boil, cook for 3-5 mins until tender, then drain.
  2. Melt the butter in a large frying pan and, once sizzling, add the broccoli. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle in as much of the parmesan as you want to use. Gently stir the florets in the cheese and butter. Scatter on a little more grated parmesan to serve.

    Instead of normal butter, I used 1T Lurpak garlic butter and tossed the steamed broccoli in that. Finished off using the parmesan as suggested.

    I boiled the broccoli with bay leaves and a slice of fresh lemon. In the pan i used olive oil instead of butter.
